Clare Sackler

Clare Sackler was born in Oklahoma City and raised just outside New York City. The first film she made as a teenager was a Charlie Chaplin inspired short, and it set the comedic tone that has since crept into each of her films. After graduating from Duke University, she spent several years working in the film industry in Los Angeles.

She is currently pursuing an M.F.A. in directing and writing at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and developing her first feature as her thesis film.
